COMBINED COAT-COLLAR AND HEAD-COVERING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 459,606, dated September 15, 1891.

Application filed August 26, 1890. Serial No. 363,129. (No model.) i

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FRED. WILLIAM BAN- DELOW, a citizen of the Empire of Germany, residing in the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvenientsin Combined Collars and Head- Coverings, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has reference to a combined collar and head-covering which can be used for overcoats, ulsters, military coats, ladies cloaks, and similar garments, and which is intended to be used as a protection for the head in stormy weather, and which is so arranged that the head-covering can be folded away below the collar after use; and the invention consists of a collar provided with a pocket at its rear part and'with a head-covering that is adapted to be folded up, so as to be stored away in the pocket of said collar, it being held in folded position and retained in the pocket by suitable fastening devices. The head-covering is attached at its lower'part to the outer edge of the folding collar and is formed of four sections, which are stitched together and provided at their lower front corners with button-hole tabs that are applied to buttons at the side of the collar when the head-covering is placed in position over the head. The lower part of the head-covering may be provided with a lining of seal-skin or other suitable material, so as to keep the ears and lower part of the head warm without interfering with the hat that is placed in position over the upper part of the head-covering attached to the collar.

In the accompanying drawings, Figures 1 and 2 represent side views of my improved collar and head-covering combined, showing the same applied to an overcoat and folded up in the collar and as applied to protect the head. Fig. 3 shows the head-covering folded away in the pocket of the collar. Fig. 4B is a vertical transverse section on the line m 00,-

Fig. 3. Figs. 5 and 6 show a rear elevation and a front elevation, respectively, of the head-covering as drawn out of the collar and ready to be applied over the head. Fig. 7 is a side elevation, drawn ona larger scale, showing the collar and, head-covering in position for use as a head-protector; and Figs. 8 and 9 show the patterns from which the head-covering is formed and the lining applied tothe lower part of the same for keeping the head warm.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

Referring to the drawings, A represents an overcoat or other garment, B the collar of the same, and O my improved head-covering, which is attached to the outer edge of the collar and adapted to be folded up, so as to be inserted in a pocket at the rear part of the collar 13. The collar B hasto be made of sufficient width to provide for the folded headcovering. The head-covering (l is preferably made of silk or other light material and can be readily folded into a narrow space, and is formed of four parts, which are stitched together by a line extending from the rear of the head-covering over the crown of the head to the front part of the same and along the sides of the same, as shown clearly in Figs. 7,8, and 9. The lower edge of the rear parts of the head-covering are stitched to the outer edge of the collar, while the lower front corners of the head-covering are applied by button-hole tabs to buttons (Z, that are attached to the side of the collar The head-covering O is folded up by first pushing in the sides in the nature of gussets and thep folding the upper part over the lower part, as shown clearly in Figs. 5 and 6. The inwardly-folded sides of the head-covering are connected by a hook and eye 6 e, as shown in Fig. 6,while the downwardly-turned portions are also connected by a hook and eye ff, as shown in Fig. 5. hen the head-coverin g C is so folded up, it is turned into the pocket formed between the outer fabric and the lining of the collar, as shown clearly in Figs. 3 and 4:. An elastic loop g at the. lower edge of the collar is then applied to a button g at the under side of the collar, so as to retain the folded head-covering in position in the collar, as shown in Fig. 4.

\Vhen it is desired tov protect the ears and lower part of the head, the head-covering C is provided with an inside lining O of sealskin or other suitable material, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig.7 and by parallel lines in Figs. 8 and O. The lining O keeps the head warm without interfering with the hat or other head-covering.

My improved head-covering, combined withthe collar, has the advantage that the neck,

as well as the head and cars, can be eifectively protected in cold and stormy Weather, while when the head-covering is not required it is folded up and inserted into the inside of the collar and then turned down with the collar, being thereby carried along without being seen from the outside. My improved collar and head-covering can also be used in connection with ladies cloaks, the head-covering being then made large enough to be used as a hat-protector for ladies, to be used whenever required.

My improved collar and head-covering combined is specially adapted for traveling-coats, military coats, overcoats to be used by con ductors, car-drivers, and others exposed to rough Weather, also to be used with ulsters and all cases in which a special head-covering is desired.

Having thus described my invention, I-

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent A coat the collar of which is provided wlth a pocket and a head-covering adapted to be folded into said pocket, said head-covering being attached at its middle rear portion to the outer edge of said collar and disconnected therefrom at its sides, said sides being provided with tabs at their lower front corners and with fastening devices for attaching said tabs to the sides of the collar, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claimthe foregoing as my invention I have signed my namein presence of two subscribing witnesses.
